The problem about stopping IE is that it is a webapplication program installation menu (Landesk management suite) or tomething like that. And I have been told it needs to run in order for the installation to run.

There is always the possibility to use a batch file.

I want to investigate one more thing first and that will be tomorrow, I am done for today.

I have tried it without using landesk and it is the setup file that is making the mess. I really need to have IE running when installing. I might be doing something wrong ,but I can not see it. The reason for beliving this is the fact that it is asking for serial number even if that is written in the override file. This last attemt was done when IE wasn't active. So it is not using or finding the deploymentfile.

"Note: If you were prompted for a serial number during the --record=1 process it is not required in the application.xml.override file. Although, including a serial number will not cause issues with the Enterprise Deployment Options."

Is there a installation log file? In Windows, the log files are located in the [system drive]\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Installers folder

I would try record again, shorten the path and have the xml file locally, and then try install it outside of LANDesk to see if it works.

I was getting this issue, it turned out that the XML files had slight errors in the commands, example --silent should be Silent, skipprocesscheck should be skipProcessCheck, deploymentfile, should be deploymentFile.

The major issue is that the encoding must be UTF-8 for the xml's to work. A free application called notepad++ will fix the encoding..
